\nThis\u00a0is a hands-on workshop that deals with the “How” of digital preservation,\u00a0rather than\u00a0the “Why.” Attendees will practice the accession of a digital collection using a simple,\u00a0open-source tool;\u00a0learn about\u00a0several DP tools and services; and\u00a0create an institution-specific\u00a0action plan for making progress towards digital preservation goals. This workshop is\u00a0designed specifically\u00a0for front-line practitioners\u00a0who routinely complete collections processing\u00a0work. If you understand the need for digital preservation, and are now\u00a0seeking to build daily workflows that incorporate accessioning digital materials, processing them, and planning for their long-term preservation,\u00a0you are our target audience. Please\u00a0note that this is not a workshop on how to digitize materials. However, the skills\u00a0taught can be applied to both born-digital as well as digitized collections.<\/p>\n
